There's a couple of good talks by a guy that reverse engineered a couple of ECU's. One talk was last year at 32C3 and an expansion on the topic this year at 33C3.

He knows that there is a authoritarian-like movement within the US where people will accept interference into a democratic process from a foreign state. I fear that those same people, with their leader in place, would accept interference into democracy from their own government. The sanctions were a chess move by Obama, but Putin knows, come 2017, he has plenty of pawns in the US.
